My Old Ass

Saw the twist coming a mile away but this was still an incredibly endearing movie.

This is not a comedy!!!! It’s a drama. The main character is not compelling. It was just ok

During a mushroom trip , 18 year old Elliot summons her future self who gives them all kinds of life advice but they continue to communicate. I loved this movie. Aubrey Plaza and Missy Stella are hilarious and pretty much all of the actors are so good. So heartwarming and funny. One of my favorites this year 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿/5 on Prime

BORING!!!! I thought Aubrey Plaza would have more screen time.

Yeah, this is one that will stick with you for a while... I could call it a "poet's movie," which writers of poetry will get... But it's also an "every person movie..." which I suspect every person who sees it might get... Brings a tear to an old poet's heart...

This was a beautiful film on so many levels. What would we say to our 18-year-old selves now? If we could, what advice would we give? And is life really about the avoidance of pain? Maybe our 18 year-old selves would have something to say to us as well. The writing is excellent with its winking nod to a dystopic future that looks none too rosy. We’ve got not only environmental collapse but war to look forward to. (Eat that salmon while you can, before it’s gone.) There is wisdom and wit in both the writing and the acting. And kudos for a very accurate portrayal of coming of age in the 2020s: young people today really DO think outside of the gender binary. Everyone in the cast is stellar. Aubrey Plaza shines here. It’s one of the most heartfelt films I’ve seen in a long time. See it!

I want to be mad at the lost opportunity to really explore the concept of a meeting with your younger self, or the "older self's" lack of any real insight ("appreciate your family" is something, but nothing it the way of real self-exploration or novel insight), but what this movie really is, is a message about what it means to be young -- to invite new experience, and even pain, without really, really knowing the cost. It feels like a bit of a careless message, but it's a true one, and I'd be lying if I said my "old ass" didn't find a bit of much needed self-forgiveness in that fact. I'd also be lying if I said that this movie wasn't the one thing that made me feel human (consider my heart warmed) on a bad day, and that's certainly worth something. Don't be careless, young people, but when you are an "old ass" like me, do remember that no matter what you did, pain was an inevitable part of being young. Forgive yourself. You couldn't have really, really known the cost; that's part of how this whole thing works.

Fun, cozy and whimsical!

Love this movie! It is funny and heartwarming and sad - and the acting is superb. Very entertaining.

I went into this movie expecting stoner humor, but ended up being emotionally wrecked, in the most uplifting way. Equal parts comedy and searing introspection, it is a beautiful film.
